Students will understand:
Students will be able to:
  • Calculate slope using and the slope formula
  • Determine rate of change from a graph, table, equation and context
  • Determine y-intercept from a graph, table, equation and context
  • Graph lines using an equation of the form y = mx + b
  • Determine the rate of change and y-intercept when given two ordered pairs
  • Determine if a function is linear when given a table with non-consecutive inputs
  • Make connections between multiple representations using slope & y-intercept
